The Goat of the Zodiac has a problem... it's Monkey's turn to take command, and Monkey is nowhere to be found! Monkey's not a bad guy, really! He's just - well, his mischievousness, curiosity, and cleverness can make him rather... naughty. He likes to play practical jokes, and that's what Sheep knows this is - Monkey never has bad intentions, just... doesn't always think of others. He probably just wanted to know what happens when the next Zodiacal Totem doesn't show up to take charge that year, not knowing that left Sheep in an awkward position!

Goat has gone looking for help and found it in Luna and Artemis, who connected her with the Sailor Senshi! She explained what happened and offered a creative plan to try to lure Monkey back, before it's too late and the year is thrown off balance:

First, they should go and find the Sacred Star fruit - they grow in remote jungle temples, guarded by a few pesky booby traps, but the fruit is so rare and so hard to find, Monkey would go bananas if he knew someone had it! This will be our bait!

Second, we need to set a trap for Monkey. Not a cruel trap - just something to draw his attention to the fruit and let Goat talk to him!

The Year of the Monkey:

[2/26/2016 8:04:25 PM] *** Kyralih joined. ***[2/26/2016 8:07:29 PM] *** Kyralih added Addy, BRITCHAN, Michael Ludwig, ☼Mercury, JupiterThunderCrash, sportsnutd ***[2/26/2016 8:07:36 PM] *** Kyralih has renamed this conversation to "Year of the Monkey" ***[2/26/2016 8:09:05 PM] *** Kyralih has changed the conversation picture. ***[2/26/2016 8:47:57 PM] *** Kyralih added ☼Tsuki/Neptune ***[2/26/2016 8:50:31 PM] Kyralih: They came out of a partial Sailor Teleport exactly where they needed to be, and yet none had ever seen this place before. As boots touched ground they were immediately set upon by the intense jungle heat and humidity, mosquitos finding them easy prey and swarming at first, then dissipating - it was odd, until the little Goat appeared and hopped delicately from rock to rock until she stood atop an old fountain before a large, sprawling complex overrun with jungle vines.

"We're here," she bleated, nodding her head back towards old stone doors, wrapped shut by the dense foliage, "Somewhere in that temple is the Sacred Star Fruit. If you could find some for me, I'm sure we could use it to lure out Monkey before it's too late!"

The goat looked very tired, and settled down atop the dry fountain top, struggling not to fall asleep from her year long vigilance that should have ended days ago. "I'll leave it up to you, Sailor Senshi; I believe in you!"[2/26/2016 8:54:23 PM] BRITCHAN: "Yes! We can do it!" Sailor Chibimoon looked at her friends around her. There was nothing that could stop the Sailor Team! "Where should we search first?"[2/26/2016 9:00:46 PM | Edited 9:01:09 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: Before Jupiter could even take in the jungle scenery, something that would have amazed her in any other less important situation, the less pleasant parts of the rainforest hit her. Too bad they didn't pack any sunscreen, or insect repellant...

"We'll have to find a way into that temple first before we can look anywhere," she said, Chibimoon's enthusiasm cheering her up a little. "If the doors aren't tied shut with vines..." Jupiter walked over to the stone entrance, scratching her new collection of mosquito bites on her other arm as she examined it. Maybe they could rip through the foliage and push them open?[2/26/2016 9:02:48 PM] BRITCHAN: "Oh right..." Chibimoon mused as she looked at the vines. Well it was obvious what they must do. "Attack the vines!!" Chibiusa ran, yelling to boost herself, towards the stone doors and began trying to tear the vines with her hands as much as she could.[2/26/2016 9:03:44 PM] Kyralih: The vines were old and tough, but they were tearing as normal vines would! It just might need a little more strength... or something sharp...[2/26/2016 9:07:31 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: A yelp escaped Usagi as a mosquito landed on her arm. Swatting it away, she looked around, taking in their surroundings.

"That's right!" she nodded in agreement to Makoto's statement.

As Chibiusa began to tear apart the vines, Usagi's attention was drawn to her. The vines looked to tear rather easily...

"Two will dig through faster than one!" she thought and jogged to join Chibiusa.[2/26/2016 9:08:21 PM] Addy: Neptune took a moment to examine her surroundings after their feet touched the ground. Where was this fruit hiding?

Taking a step towards the vines, Neptune could see that they would most likely break with some force. Uranus' sword would have done the trick or another sharp object - using their powers at this point would be overkill and probably cause more damage than good.[2/26/2016 9:09:28 PM] BRITCHAN: "Sailor Moon I can do this on my own!" Even though, she was glad for the help, she knew she could do it...though her fingers were starting to hurt from the vines..._"Besides, you'll probably just hit me in the process with your clumsiness"_[2/26/2016 9:09:52 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: Jupiter took a step back as Chibimoon charged the door and started tearing away the plants quickly followed by Sailor Moon. It seemed like they were going with her plan after all. Well that made it easier to help at least. "Hey, leave some work for the rest of us!" Seeing that the vines were weakened, Jupiter shoved against the stone doors with as much strength she could put into it, her boots digging into the soil.[2/26/2016 9:10:37 PM] Kyralih: The vines were quickly cleared by the girls working together (er... fighting but also working together?) and the door was fully unearthed![2/26/2016 9:14:02 PM] Kyralih: Despite Jupiter's immense push... nothing happened.[2/26/2016 9:14:54 PM] Addy: "Maybe it needs more power?" Neptune offered[2/26/2016 9:15:09 PM] Kyralih: Now that the door was completely cleared of vines, you could see two deep grooves on either side of the middle edge[2/26/2016 9:15:32 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: "Chibiusa, you should be happy I'm helping you!" Usagi shot her a glare, but didn't let her words stop her from continuing digging.

"You're kidding me!" If Makoto couldn't open the doors without attacking, who could?[2/26/2016 9:16:03 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon cocked her head as she watched Jupiter push the door. She looked at the dor noticing deep grooves. "Hey...whats this?" she pointed at them.[2/26/2016 9:16:28 PM] BRITCHAN: (Chibimoon also managed to stick her tongue out at Moon in the process.)[2/26/2016 9:16:33 PM] Addy: Moving closer, Neptune examined the spot that Chibiusa pointed at. "Perhaps something fits in the grooves, a key of sorts?"[2/26/2016 9:17:46 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: Jupiter pulled back and scowled at the door. "What kind of force do we need to get this thing open?" As she was wondering how to somehow push the door even harder, Chibiusa's observation caught her attention. "Are those... door handles?" Jupiter blushed as she realized what was going on. "I was supposed to pull..."[2/26/2016 9:18:34 PM] Kyralih: The door opened to reveal a square room with two dark openings directly ahead of them, and one to their right.[2/26/2016 9:19:18 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon suppressed a giggle. It happened to the best of us at times. As the door open, Chibimoon looked on amazed. Three entrances..._"...What do we do now?"_[2/26/2016 9:20:46 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: Eye twitching, Usagi returned the gesture before her attention was caught by the grooves.

After a moment, Makoto succeeded in opening the door.

"Hmm... I think we should go straight ahead!" She suggested.[2/26/2016 9:20:50 PM] Addy: Neptune walked forward, carefully looking at each of the doors in turn, trying to notice any hints about what they should do.[2/26/2016 9:21:23 PM] Kyralih: The doors ahead of them looked like they intersected some sort of curving hallway... the door to the right looked like it was a self-contained little room; nothing very interesting in there[2/26/2016 9:22:15 PM | Edited 9:22:28 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: Jupiter stepped into the stone temple's first room, looking around. "Straightforward sounds good enough!" she said. If there was a puzzle here, she certainly didn't see it. In her mind, the straightest path was the least confusing one, and it would logically lead deeper in.[2/26/2016 9:22:49 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon walked around the entry way. She poked her head into the door to the right, not seeing anything. She turned to the others "Should we split up?"[2/26/2016 9:25:30 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: "Well I guess splitting up would be faster, we do have to find that fruit quickly," Jupiter said, though she didn't seem as confident in it. "But is that safe in here? There could be traps."[2/26/2016 9:26:23 PM] Kyralih: As though on cue, the door to the right slammed shut! If it had happened any sooner, Chibi Moon might have...[2/26/2016 9:26:58 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon jumped back, startled at the door suddenly closing. She quickly scooted over to Sailor Moon, grabbing a hold of her hand.[2/26/2016 9:27:18 PM] Addy: "It seems that sticking together may be the best idea." Besides, they needed to protect the Princess and her daughter.[2/26/2016 9:27:46 PM] BRITCHAN: "M-maybe so..." Chibimoon was clearly shaken by the door. But she conitned to put on a brave face.[2/26/2016 9:28:37 PM | Edited 9:29:08 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: The door’s slam made Usagi jump, and before she could process what had happened, Chibimoon had grabbed her hand.

"Chibimoon! Are you alright?!" she asked, squeezing her hand in turn.

"That's right, we shouldn't split up!" The thought of what could happen to any of them if they split up snt chills down her spine.[2/26/2016 9:29:07 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon smiled at Sailor Moon. "Yeah, I'm fine now."[2/26/2016 9:29:08 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: Jupiter glared at the offending door, as if to make it feel bad about almost hurting someone, and then turned her attention back to the other two options. "Strait ahead it is then. But let's stick closer together..."[2/26/2016 9:29:25 PM] Kyralih: The two doors ahead both led to the same hallway... but the hallway curved away from them on either side, as though they had entered part of a circular hallway.[2/26/2016 9:29:48 PM] Kyralih: Left and clockwise, or Right and counterclockwise? These are your options[2/26/2016 9:32:05 PM] BRITCHAN: "Well," Chibimoon put on her bravest face (still holding on to Moon's hand) "Lets got that way!" Chibimoon pointed in a random direction, which so happened to be the door on the right.[2/26/2016 9:34:29 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: Jupiter nodded. "The middle one seems okay. But... how about I go first this time?" she asked. She didn't want to discourage Chibiusa, but after that last door slammed shut, she didn't trust anything in here.[2/26/2016 9:36:33 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: "Wait, Mako-chan!"

"Michiru-san, do you feel anything from that direction?" Michiru's intuition was something Usagi could trust, just as Rei's. It was better to ask before any more doors slammed shut all of sudden.[2/26/2016 9:38:48 PM | Edited 9:56:18 PM] Addy: Closing her eyes, she reached out with her senses. "We need to be on guard, I sense hints of danger down both paths," she murmured as she continued to focus. The right path ended quickly, with the left one going on longer. Something about the left told her it was the way to go.

"Left is our best choice," she said as she opened her eyes. Neptune couldn't help but wonder what danger waited them.[2/26/2016 9:40:27 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibinmoon blushed a bit. Guess she needed to learn more as a Sailor Soldier. Though, she was glad for having Neptune's help.[2/26/2016 9:41:32 PM | Edited 9:41:41 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: "Thank you, Michiru-san" she sighed in relief. Hearing both paths could be dangerous made Usagi's pulse quicken, but at least now they knew which path was the better option.[2/26/2016 9:42:07 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: Usagi stopped her just as she was about to walk towards the door. Oh right, Neptune could sense things as well as Mars could. That would be useful in a place like this, with no map to guide them. "Alright, uh, left it is then!" Jupiter said. At least they weren't going in blind now. But there was still danger. being cautions as she approached the door, Jupiter took a few steps through the left one.[2/26/2016 9:43:22 PM] Kyralih: The hallway curved away from them, tilting counterclockwise if they were in the 6 position. Everything was made of stone; some dry parts, some damp; in some spots, the floor was covered in those thick vines again... they were hard not to trip over...[2/26/2016 9:47:13 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: Usagi followed in suit as Makoto entered the hallway. The curving path made Usagi feel slightly dizzy - it was like they were walking in one huge spiral. Then her foot caught on something (a vine?), and she fell over with a yelp.[2/26/2016 9:47:46 PM] BRITCHAN: "Aieee!"_Chibimoon, who was still holding on to Moon's hand, fell along with her. "Baka Usagi!!"_[2/26/2016 9:48:04 PM] Kyralih: The hallway, and the rest of the temple, was actually lit rather okay due to unfortunate holes in the ceiling that let some light in, filtering down in soft beams in places, or providing just enough illumination to see in others.

! Just as the girls hit the floor, a sharp whoosh! sounded![2/26/2016 9:49:21 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: "I'm sorry! That vine appeared out of nowhere!" she cried, but her apology was cut short by a sharp sound.[2/26/2016 9:50:02 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: "The floor's overgrown with plants in here. Usagi, be care"- Jupiter looked back as both Sailor Moon and Chibimoon fell over. She should have expected that. The strange sound after caught her attention though, and Jupiter was on high alert in an instant.[2/26/2016 9:50:19 PM] BRITCHAN: "What was that!?"[2/26/2016 9:50:36 PM] Kyralih: The sound was coming from behind.... WHAT IN THE WORLD?! ARROWS WERE FLYING ACROSS THE PASSAGEWAY, CHASING EVERYONE FORWARD![2/26/2016 9:51:08 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon's eyes widened as she turned around seeing the arrows. She quickly got up and pulled on Usagi. "RUN!!!!"[2/26/2016 9:57:09 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: Usagi dared to glance over her shoulder, only met with fast approaching arrows. Right at that moment, she felt Chibiusa pull on her and jumped up as fast as she could. Srcambling to her feet, she started running as fast as she could.

"What's up with these booby traps!?" she cried.[2/26/2016 9:58:27 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: "moon turds!" Jupiter struggled not to just pick Usagi up and place her on her feet as the wave of arrows came closer. "No time for questions, just run!" She grabbed Usagi's other hand and ran with her, hoping Neptune was following.[2/26/2016 10:00:39 PM] Kyralih: They ran as fast as they could down the hallway, jumping over groups of thick vines, but -- the floor was suddenly slippery! Water had leaked in through the cracks in the ceiling, oh no! Arms flailed as legs attempted to find purchase and -- WHAT IN THE WORLD, A GAP IN THE FLOOR AHEAD?!? ANOTHER BOOBY TRAP!!

They were slipping and sliding towards a pit! They'd need to jump across, but how?! The arrows were still coming![2/26/2016 10:03:38 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon's eyes widened as she saw the gap ahead. She had an idea but didn't know if it would work, she'd never use her attack in this way before....What else could she do? Calling forth her Pink Heart Rod to her hand she cried out "Pink Sugar Heart Attack!" and aimed the forthcoming hearts at the ground in attempt to bounce her up and over the hold all while still gripping onto Usagi.[2/26/2016 10:04:47 PM | Edited 10:06:34 PM] Kyralih: At first -- at first nothing happened! The attack looked like it had failed!But then pink sugar hearts popped out and the pair bounces high and sails over the pit to safety![2/26/2016 10:08:04 PM | Edited 10:08:36 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: Exactly how were they supposed to survive this? Arrows were still flying in the air and Usagi was focusing all of her energy into dodging and struggling to stay up on the watery surface.

And then she saw the gap and the empty pit in her stomach grew. They had no opportunity but to jump, did they?

Then Chibiusa called her attack, right before they jumped. The next moment they were mid-air, flying to safety.

Usagi sighed in relief before turning to Chibiusa.

"Chibimoon, that was amazing!"[2/26/2016 10:08:20 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: Jupiter wanted to say an even stronger word at the sight of the pit ahead, but focused on trying not to panic. They'd have to jump it, but how would.... Her brainstorming was interrupted by Chibiusa's attack, and she watched in shock as both Sailor Moon and her were pushed over the gap. Well that solved one problem....

Determined that it was possible to get over, Jupiter tried to build up speed without falling over on the wet floor, and then tried to jump the gap herself.[2/26/2016 10:09:06 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon smiled at Usagi and winked. "It was no problem!" However, Chibimoon remembered the other's... "Sailor Moon! Reach out for Jupiter!"[2/26/2016 10:11:03 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: Usagi immediately turned over and reached her hand for Makoto, who was currently flying towards them, hoping she managed to grab and pull her to safety.

"Mako-chan! Grab my hand!"[2/26/2016 10:11:36 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon stretched her hand out as well. It certainly would take two of them to help the taller Senshi.[2/26/2016 10:12:05 PM] Kyralih: Jupiter's foot hit the opposite side, and the Moon's hands took hers to forcefully pull her into safety from her precarious position![2/26/2016 10:14:48 PM] Addy: Having been a little further back than the rest of the group, it gave Jupiter enough time to clear the jump before Neptune launched herself over the pit, landing in a perfect gymnast pose on the other side.[2/26/2016 10:15:26 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: Usagi pulled at Makoto's hand with all of her strength, Chibimoon as her aide, succeeding in their task. The strength Usagi put in her pull, however, was so strong she was close to falling on her back, her balance lost momentarily.[2/26/2016 10:16:01 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon looked at Neptune in awe and surprise. The look turned slightly into envy. There always had to be a perfectionist in the group....Though she forgot for a moment she was helpig pull in Jupiter and she lost her balance along with Moon.[2/26/2016 10:16:55 PM] Kyralih: The arrows stopped on the other side of the pit; they were safe, for now. But the floor was curving in the opposite direction...

Neptune wasn't feeling any bad vibes coming from this hallway anymore; were they in the clear?[2/26/2016 10:17:56 PM | Edited 10:18:08 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: Usagi blinked rapidly in awe as she watched Neptune's graceful landing. She certainly was like a princess in everything she did.[2/26/2016 10:18:01 PM] Addy: "That was very ingenous of you Chibi Moon," Neptune said giving the young senshi in training a warm smile.[2/26/2016 10:18:30 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon blushed at the compliment. It meant a log coming from Neptune, who was always so mature and composed. "...Thank you..."[2/26/2016 10:18:45 PM | Edited 10:19:36 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: When both Usagi and Chibiusa falling over, Jupiter ended up half on top of them, collapsed in a heap. "Thanks guys..." she said, getting off them and brushing herself off. She wasn't sure whether to clap politely or be surprised by Michiru's landing.[2/26/2016 10:20:54 PM] BRITCHAN: Brushing herself off, Chibimoon go up. After getting through that, she felt a bitmore confident in herself. "Let's keep going!" Chibimoon contnued forward downthe hall.[2/26/2016 10:23:43 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: With no time to rest, Jupiter stood up and followed after Sailor Chibimoon.[2/26/2016 10:24:49 PM | Edited 10:25:36 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: Usagi brushed herself off and sighed in relief. They still had a long way to go, but surviving from this incident gave her more confidence, but cautiousness also. What all traps were still waiting for them...?

She brushed the thought off and followed after her friends.[2/26/2016 10:25:40 PM] Kyralih: The hallway had curved around completely, and then came to... a giant circular room... https://rpgcharacters.files.wordpress.com/2015/04/spiral-temple-grid.jpgwith three chambers at the top[2/26/2016 10:26:28 PM] Kyralih: On top of each chamber was a symbol with a monkey... one covered its eyes, one its ears, one its mouth. In the center of the room was a large tree surrounded by a pit of hissing snakes; up in its boughs were the star fruit![2/26/2016 10:27:45 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon gazed in awe at the expansive circular room. When her eyes finally saw the star fruit she cried out in joy, _"That must be it!_" They were so close! Just needed to get the fruit.[2/26/2016 10:28:57 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: "Not sure how to handle the snakes though..." Jupiter said. How would they cross the pit without getting bitten? She looked at the three chambers, studying the different monkeys. "You think those have something to do with how to get to the tree?"[2/26/2016 10:32:37 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: Usagi couldn't help the excited exclamation that escaped her when they entered the room. They had made it!

But her momentarily joy was washed away as she spotted the snakes. They still had way to go before they could call the task finished.

"Mako-chan, you're genius!" she turned to her friend. "But... what are we going to do next?"[2/26/2016 10:33:17 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon thought and thought...she had recognized these symbols from somewhere before but she couldn't remember. "Ah..." she thought a moment more and turned to Jupiter with a blank happy expression. "Jupiter, Throw me as hard as you can."[2/26/2016 10:35:52 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: Mako couldn't help but grin at Usagi's compliment, and did her best to figure out what to do. "Hm, I think there was a saying about monkeys that had something to do with those symbols... Wait, what did you say!?" She did a double take as she registered Chibimoon's request. ""Are- are you sure you want me to throw you?" What if she didn't throw her high enough, and Chibiusa hit the snakes? Or worse yet, she overshot and hit the ceiling?[2/26/2016 10:37:16 PM] BRITCHAN: "Jupiter, you're hte strongest of us here and I'm the lightest... I believe you can throw me into the tree!"[2/26/2016 10:38:26 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: Usagi's eyes widened as she heard Chibimoon's request.

"Chibimoon, you can't be serious?! What if you hit your head, or fall down to that pit, or...?"[2/26/2016 10:39:22 PM] BRITCHAN: "If all fails, I can just Pink Sugar Heart Attack my way out of there."[2/26/2016 10:40:57 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: "If... if you say so..." Jupiter gulped, and then looked determined. "Alright, here it goes!" She picked up Chibimoon, held her over her head, and then threw her up towards the higher branches, hoping she hadn't just brained Usagi's child on the stone somewhere.[2/26/2016 10:41:30 PM] BRITCHAN: As she flew through the hair, Chibimoon held out her hands, reaching for any branch of the tree to grab on to.[2/26/2016 10:41:54 PM] Kyralih: It looked good.... It looked really good.... !!!!

WAIT THE TREE WAS NOT REAL AND CHIBI MOON WENT STRAIGHT THROUGH IT!! She passed over the entirety of the snake pit and looks like she'll land, butt-first, on the floor on the other side.[2/26/2016 10:42:51 PM] BRITCHAN: "Aaaaah!!!" Chibimoon yelled as she went through the tree and fell right on her butt, then tumbling further. "Oof! ooowww!" She looked back at everyone with tears in her eyes. "MY BUTT!"[2/26/2016 10:43:44 PM] BRITCHAN: "It's flat!! How will I ever get a boyfriend now!" She continued to cry, feeling rather defeated.[2/26/2016 10:44:10 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: Usagi watched in horror as Chibimoon flew in air, clossing her hands and wishing she would land safely.

But then she flew straight through the tree and landed on the other side.

"Chibimoon, are you alright?" Usagi asked as she jogged to her. What on earth was up with that tree? Was it an illusion?[2/26/2016 10:45:19 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon blinked as she saw Moon coming towards her...She looked up and saw the three monkey figures away. "See no evil...."[2/26/2016 10:46:16 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: "Sorry!" Jupiter called after cringing, running over to meet her. At least she hadn't landed headfirst... "You're okay, right?" She really did feel terrible now.[2/26/2016 10:47:41 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon wiped her tears. "Yes, I'm fine! But I think I remember what these symbols mean. I remember learning about them in school! They are hte three wise monkeys. "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" But what does it mean? Where do we get the fruit from?"[2/26/2016 10:47:50 PM] Addy: Something wasn't right here. After watching Chibiusa go through the tree and land on her behind - Neptune couldn't help but wince a little with that landing, it had to have hurt - she reached out with her senses once more. There was something about the three rooms that lead off the room they were currently in, although she couldn't get more specific than that.

"I get the feeling we're meant to search those rooms that lead off this one," Neptune said, gesturing to what she meant.[2/26/2016 10:49:33 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: "Michiru-san?" Usagi turned her attention to the older senshi.

"Okay! Which should we search first?"[2/26/2016 10:49:55 PM | Edited 10:50:02 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: Jupiter sighed in relief, happy that Chibiusa was in one piece. "How about we divide them up?"[2/26/2016 10:50:45 PM] BRITCHAN: "Maybe we need to mimic the actions of the monkeys to avoid the evil?"[2/26/2016 10:51:46 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: "But we can't cover our eyes, ears, and mouth at the same time..." Unless... Jupiter's eyes lit up. "Maybe one of us is supposed to do each one?"[2/26/2016 10:52:01 PM | Edited 10:52:12 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: "That means... we should close off one of our senses, right?" Usagi pondered. The thought of not having all of her senses on alert made her nervous, but if they could obtain the fruit that way...[2/26/2016 10:53:06 PM] BRITCHAN: "Thats has to be it! So which of us goes through?"[2/26/2016 10:54:51 PM | Removed 10:55:51 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: This message has been removed.[2/26/2016 10:55:16 PM] BRITCHAN: "Okay, I'll go in this one" She pointed at hte see no evil Monkey, covered her eyes and walked in.[2/26/2016 10:55:30 PM] Kyralih: The room of See No Evil lit up beneath Chibimoon's feet![2/26/2016 10:56:21 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: "It works!" But who should go to which remaining room?[2/26/2016 10:57:27 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: "Usagi, how about you stay here? I'll take the hear no evil one. Michiru can take the speak no evil one." Jupiter walked into the second room and covered her ears.[2/26/2016 10:59:17 PM] Kyralih: The room lit up beneath Jupiter's feet[2/26/2016 10:59:37 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: "Umm alright, Mako-chan!" Usagi said and stayed put, wondering what was going to happen when all thee rooms were occupied. How would she get to that tree?[2/26/2016 11:00:43 PM] Addy: Neptune stepped forward towards the last remaining room.[2/26/2016 11:01:29 PM] Kyralih: As Neptune stepped into her room, her hands over her mouth, the floor lit beneath her.

Over Usagi's head, the ceiling slipped away to reveal the actual Starfruit tree! As all three rooms glowed, a single, juicy, delicious looking piece of fruit fell down into her hands.

They did it! They got the fruit![2/26/2016 11:02:06 PM] BRITCHAN: "OI Baka Usagi! What happened? I can't see!"[2/26/2016 11:03:10 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: "What did you say?" Jupiter asked, speaking louder than usual. There was a strange light in her room...[2/26/2016 11:04:42 PM | Edited 11:06:04 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: As she heard a sound above her head, Usagi glanced up to see the ceiling slip away. It its place was a starfruit tree, which dropped down one fruit right into her hands.

Bewildered, Usagi stared at the fruit in her hands in disbelief before her face lit up.

"We did it!!"[2/26/2016 11:05:33 PM] BRITCHAN: "Did WHAT!?"[2/26/2016 11:06:25 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: "I SAID WE GOT THE FRUIT!" she repeated, this time louder.[2/26/2016 11:06:55 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon uncovered her eyes and smiled. She ran out the room. "Yaaaay! Good job Sailor Moon!"[2/26/2016 11:07:25 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: "WHAT?" Jupiter said, walking out of the room with her hands still over her ears. "Oh, you got the fruit!"[2/26/2016 11:09:21 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: Usagi ran to her friends, bouncing on her feet excitedly.

"Yes, we did it! Now we can teleport from here, right?" she beamed.[2/26/2016 11:09:55 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon nodded. "I'm tired of this creepy place."[2/26/2016 11:11:33 PM] JupiterThunderCrash: "Yeah, let's get out of here and show the sheep!" Jupiter said.[2/26/2016 11:12:05 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon reached out for Moon's hand and Jupiter's.[2/26/2016 11:14:10 PM | Edited 11:16:44 PM] ☼Tsuki/Neptune: Usagi nodded in agreement and extended her free her towards her friends. With Sailor Teleport, they would be out of here in no time.

And so they teleported back to Tokyo[2/27/2016 2:57:36 PM] Kyralih: THE NEXT DAY[2/27/2016 2:59:32 PM] Kyralih: The senshi gathered, staring at the strange, succulent fruit they had gathered from that Jungle Temple the night before. Before them stood the Goat, who weakly curtsied before them. "Thank you for finding the fruit! Now we just have to come up with a plan... we need some way to advertise that we have the fruit, and then figure out a way to catch him - or make him stay in one place, anyway - to make him take over as guardian of the new year."

She looked to the senshi gathered, _"Any ideas?_"[2/27/2016 3:02:15 PM] sportsnutd: Ami was thinking and said, "Do we have anything for a type of cage or something..of course we don't want to hurt him"[2/27/2016 3:03:04 PM] sportsnutd: (Mercury not Ami)[2/27/2016 3:06:52 PM] Addy: "Do we know where and when the monkey was last spotted?" Neptune asked.[2/27/2016 3:09:44 PM] Kyralih: Not really, the goat replied, He's a free spirit and wanders aoften[2/27/2016 3:12:11 PM] Addy: "We could perhaps put the fruit in the open somewhere underneath a trap."[2/27/2016 3:12:29 PM] sportsnutd: "well what about something he like other then the fruit? we could make a trail of it leading here?" Mercury said looking at Neptune and the Goat[2/27/2016 3:12:54 PM] sportsnutd: "That would be good Neptune." Mercury added.[2/27/2016 3:25:05 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibi moon wondered and consider their options. She chimed in "what if we made a TV broadcast?"[2/27/2016 3:25:44 PM | Removed 3:28:49 PM] BRITCHAN: This message has been removed.[2/27/2016 3:26:04 PM | Removed 3:28:44 PM] BRITCHAN: This message has been removed.[2/27/2016 3:34:06 PM] Addy: "That could work."[2/27/2016 3:34:57 PM] sportsnutd: "Im fine with that."[2/27/2016 3:36:39 PM] BRITCHAN: "Mercury can you use your computer to hack our communicators into the broadcast system?"[2/27/2016 3:38:10 PM] sportsnutd: "I should be able to." Mercury then got out her computer and began to input things and after a minute or two she looked at the others, "Were in"[2/27/2016 3:40:45 PM] BRITCHAN: "Alright!" She brought her communicator to her face. " attention monkey we have your favorite star fruit if you want it come and get it!"[2/27/2016 3:41:39 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibi moon grab the star fruit and held it in front of a communicator so the monkey would be able to see the fruit on the[2/27/2016 3:41:54 PM] BRITCHAN: Broadcast[2/27/2016 3:42:08 PM] Kyralih: The Advertisement was good... but would it be enough to lure in Monkey? Did monkey even watch tv? How could they guarantee he would see the add? Maybe they should think up another campaign just in case?[2/27/2016 3:42:33 PM] Addy: "Perhaps we should advertise on various radio stations as well,"[2/27/2016 3:42:55 PM] Kyralih: Monkey likes music... the goat said weakly[2/27/2016 3:43:31 PM] BRITCHAN: "Maybe we should get a symbol in the sky like from Batman! Oh... well that could work too"[2/27/2016 3:44:25 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibi moon began to sing "open the door get on the floor everybody do the dinosaur"[2/27/2016 3:44:55 PM] Kyralih: ! That's monkey's favorite song![2/27/2016 3:46:14 PM] sportsnutd: Mercury giggled at ChibiMoons antics but then was going to say something when Goat did first. "Let me try to get into the radios as well." She then being inputting more commands and then she said, "We should be in there too"[2/27/2016 3:48:56 PM] BRITCHAN: She continued to sing but chose a different song this time, " I am sorry that I'm not honest I can only say it in my dreams my thoughts are about to short circuit I want to see you right now"[2/27/2016 3:52:35 PM] sportsnutd: "Neptune, Goat and I should set something up while Chibimoon sings. Is there a safe place to place the fruit that he can get to it but we can as well?"[2/27/2016 3:54:04 PM] Addy: "The safest place would be to keep it on you at all times until we're ready for our trap,"[2/27/2016 3:54:22 PM] sportsnutd: "Good point"[2/27/2016 3:59:59 PM] Kyralih: From far away, Monkey catches wind of the broadcast, but he has no idea where to go to get his fruit...[2/27/2016 4:01:33 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon continued to sing. She even sang japan's national anthem.[2/27/2016 4:04:04 PM] sportsnutd: Mercury looked around to see if there was any sighting of Monkey but there was none yet. "I wonder if he would respond to a fake commercial between songs maybe saying where the fruit is or something close. I don't think we mentioned it yet, did we?"[2/27/2016 4:04:07 PM] Kyralih: The monkey appeared in various Japanese cities, looking for the fruit...[2/27/2016 4:04:27 PM] Kyralih: The senshi had his attention, but what was their plan for when he arrived?! he was a tricky monkey...[2/27/2016 4:05:42 PM] Addy: "Informing him where the fruit is would be wise."[2/27/2016 4:05:45 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon heard Mercury and began changing the lyrics to the current song she was singing. "We haavveee your fruit right here in Tokyo Japan...Juuban azabu district!"[2/27/2016 4:06:52 PM] BRITCHAN: She looked at her surroundings. "Really close to the "Crown Fruit Parlor where you can get tasty treats!"[2/27/2016 4:07:28 PM | Edited 4:07:41 PM] Kyralih: The Monkey suddenly appeared directly above them!"You have something I want~" he declared in a sing-song voice. He took a great sniff of the air, closing his eyes, and then opened them, looking directly at Sailor Mercury. He disappeared.[2/27/2016 4:08:02 PM | Edited 4:08:09 PM] Addy: "Be on your guard," Neptune said as the monkey disappeared once more[2/27/2016 4:08:12 PM] Kyralih: Oh no!! Goat lamented, "We didn't figure out a way to trap him! He'll just take the fruit and leave!"[2/27/2016 4:08:40 PM] sportsnutd: Mercury looked up then looked around ready to keep the fruit away from Monkey.[2/27/2016 4:11:30 PM] Kyralih: A weight fell on Mercury's shoulders as Monkey appeared there, his eyes wide, lips curled back, "You have something I _want!_" he continued in his sing-song voice, though there was some form of darkness there. "GIVE IT TO ME!" He reached out, his legs wrapping around Mercury's waist, arms straining to reach the fruit Mercury had on her.[2/27/2016 4:12:29 PM] BRITCHAN: "Ah ah ah!" Chili moon said in a sing song voice. "Why don't we play a little game first?" Hoping to distract the monkey[2/27/2016 4:14:03 PM] sportsnutd: Mercury held on to the fruit as tight as she could with out ruining it. She wanted to toss it at Neptune but was scared Monkey would grab it first.[2/27/2016 4:15:03 PM] Kyralih: "Why play a game when I can have it _now?"_ Monkey asked, straining harder, starting to chitter in Mercury's ear.

Goat watched on, nervously, her eyes wide with fear and fright. "Monkey... What is happening to you? Monkey, you need to take up the protection of this year - something is wrong with you - you need to take responsibility before you turn back into a mindless monkey!"

But Monkey wasn't listening![2/27/2016 4:16:41 PM] BRITCHAN: Her idea wasn't work. She heard goats cries and knew something else had to be done. "Well I guess you want to do this the hard way....Pink Sugar Heart Attack!" She aimed a flurry of pink light hearts at the monkey, trying her best to avoid mercury.[2/27/2016 4:17:15 PM] Kyralih: The hearts hit the Monkey and knocked him back, but he just disappeared![2/27/2016 4:17:53 PM] Kyralih: "Quick! Hide the fruit!" Goat called, "Chibimoon, your idea might work, but he's -- watch out!" she cried![2/27/2016 4:19:22 PM] sportsnutd: Mercury closed her eyes when she heard Chibimoon. 'I don't think this is best but..oh it worked?' Mercury then ran into the Crown on thought alone hoping the others would follow. They knew the insides but Money didn't...that was her reasoning.[2/27/2016 4:19:51 PM] BRITCHAN: Determined to try again, "I challenge you to a game of Janken!"[2/27/2016 4:20:23 PM] Kyralih: Monkey, who had reappeared in the doorway of the Crown Fruit Parlor, paused, staring at Chibimoon, seething - "Janken?"[2/27/2016 4:20:24 PM] BRITCHAN: "Best two out of three! Are you brave enough to try me, a little girl or are you chicken?"[2/27/2016 4:20:53 PM] Kyralih: "You challenge ME to Janken?!" he laughed, "This shall be easier than chasing someone around all day! Fine! If I win, I get the fruit!"[2/27/2016 4:21:41 PM] BRITCHAN: "And if you lose you have to follow your duties and go back with Goat!"[2/27/2016 4:23:00 PM] Kyralih: "What?" Monkey looked around, spotted Goat, and shrugged, "Sure, fine, whatever."He disappeared, and reappeared floating in the air before Chibimoon. "Ready?"[2/27/2016 4:24:13 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibi moon glared at the monkey, her face radiating confidence. Even if she lost, she was the daughter of the strongest women in the universe. She would find a way. "Yes. Jan Ken pon shoot". Her first choice was the shape of paper.[2/27/2016 4:24:43 PM] Kyralih: "Jan Ken Pon shoot!" he said along with her, displaying a Rock![2/27/2016 4:27:25 PM] sportsnutd: Mercury watched from inside the crown through a close by window. She fully believed in Chibimoon.[2/27/2016 4:28:09 PM] BRITCHAN: "Hah! Thats one out of three. Can you do it? Jan ken pon shoot!" This time she choose rock![2/27/2016 4:28:14 PM] Kyralih: "You win! Again!"

<<< "Alright....this will be the decider of the two... JAN KEN PON SHOOT!" She choose rock again![2/27/2016 4:34:24 PM] Kyralih: "Noooooooooooo!"[2/27/2016 4:35:11 PM] sportsnutd: Mercury cheered quietly when she saw Chibimoon win[2/27/2016 4:36:02 PM] BRITCHAN: "Luna P!" She called to Luna P that poofed out of hte middle of no where. "Turn into a leash!" The leash dropped into her hands (note the cute luna print on it) and Chibimoon went to wrap it around Monkey's neck.[2/27/2016 4:38:54 PM] Kyralih: *"Oh.... not even fruit for my troubles...*"[2/27/2016 4:40:30 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon looked at Goat. "Well...would it be ok to give him some fruit?"[2/27/2016 4:41:14 PM] sportsnutd: Mercury slowly walked out but was still cautious[2/27/2016 4:41:24 PM] Kyralih: "Monkey, you have to take up your role as the Guardian of the Zodiac for this year! I can't do it for another year, and you are regressing back to your wild form! If you don't take responsibility, I don't know what will happen!"

"Fine, fine. I'll take up the year," he grumpily decided, folding his arms across his chest.

"Maybe... maybe giving him the fruit would be okay," the goat said to Chibimoon gently, glad that soon her ordeal would be over[2/27/2016 4:42:22 PM] BRITCHAN: Chibimoon handed hte leash over to Goat. "Here. Just in case," she winked at Goat and called for Mercury. "Let this guy eat some fruit for his troubles!"[2/27/2016 4:43:18 PM] Kyralih: Goat took the leash sheepishly in her mouth and waited as Monkey eagerly grabbed for the fruit as Mercury approached - though, this time, he was less rabid about it.[2/27/2016 4:43:25 PM] sportsnutd: Mercury walked over to Goat and Monkey and presented the fruit in front of him. "Here"[2/27/2016 4:45:52 PM] Kyralih: The monkey nodded his head and took it from her gratefully, then bit into the juicy fruit with gusto.

"Thank you for your help, Sailor Senshi!" the goat said around the leash in her mouth. "I won't forget this! Farewell, and may you have a fruitful year!"[2/27/2016 4:47:15 PM] sportsnutd: Mercury smiled, "Thank you"[2/27/2016 4:48:00 PM] Kyralih: With that, Goat and Monkey disappeared!

The day was saved![2/27/2016 4:48:03 PM] BRITCHAN: "It's all in a days work!" Chibimoon flashed a peace sign at goat. "Good luck guarding the zodiac this year monkey!"

Well think of it as a good opportunity to practice using her then! That's why I'm taking Michiru, I'm not as confident with her as I am with other senshi and there's not as much pressure in livechats as there are no profile requirements.

These casual events are all in good fun! If you think you'd have fun playing her, sign up with her!

I'm going to have to make sure to get home from any errands I run that day by 8:15pm CST if I do this (which I think I will be able to do, even though I'm two time zones west of CST), but I'd like to practice with Setsuna/Pluto on Friday evening.

And for the Saturday version, I'd also like to practice with Setsuna/Pluto if I am awake at the winning time - which is more likely if a later time wins.
